Y6s visit Madina Mosque
Both Y6 classes visited the Sheffield Madina Mosque this week. This visit complemented their learning around Islam this term. During the visit the children received an in depth tour, hosted by a knowledgeable volunteer, and found out about how muslims use the mosque. To begin with we toured the room where muslims wash in preparation for prayer. We then visited the library and learnt about the Qu'ran before visiting the main hall where we learnt about pilgrimage and prayer. A group of our muslim pupils demonstrated the recitation of the prayer. We were very impressed with all the children's engagement and the insightful questions they asked. We're also very grateful to the mosque for providing us with this authentic learning opportunity.
